Some people love word verification. Not sure why.
I don't do it and have not had any problems. Blogger intercepts all spam for me.

I tend not to visit blogs that require me to prove I am not a robot.
That's a human response.
I wrote the above limerick some time ago - time for a reprint.
Using words taken from Word Verification windows, of course.
Translated, it reads:Word verification is the pits
When doing a blog comments blitz
To say verification
Is a mild irritation
Is wrong, in reality it gives me quite a lot of bother.

And your final line is much like saying that firetruck is the word that starts with eff and ends in uck. Though classier of course.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on this. Good post!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree it is irritating, now we have 'two' words to be verified to leave a comment and some are barely legible.

Good one!
ReplyDeleteI rarely leave comments on blogs that have word verification.
One blogger friend has it and can't get rid of it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, blogger sends all suspect comments to the spam folder so there's not really any need to have it on and if you moderate anyway, what's the point?
I moved from Wordpress because blogger is easier to use, but they seem determined to mess about with something that works perfectly well as it is. I really dislike the new interface too, and my widgets have vanished from the pages, so now I have to take two steps to get to things instead of one.
I agree, I don't care for it either, hope I don't have it on my blog, I can't remember........ how are you Cosmo?
ReplyDeleteBother... nicely put. I like the way the meter of that line bogs down. I can never read those verification words anyway. lfirlda stuijicl looks like friggin stupid to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm in agreement with all of the above! F***k word verification!
ReplyDeletexxx
Now that is cute!
ReplyDelete(for a robot)
I agree wholeheartedly. Fact is, blogger's robot-defenders have become blurry and unintelligible, which adds to the frustration that half the time, they do not recognize my wordpress account name! Last line is a hoot, by the way, loved this satirical doggerel! Amy

Hi I didnt even know the damn word verification was on again! Took me about an hour to remove it, had to visit my old dashboard! I only hope it worked!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes have a great weekend!
Hi,Cosmo! I had not triggered off the WV, so I thought until someone pointed it out to me. I didn't realize it is on. I tried to get rid of it but it messed up my dashboard. I'm still trying to get to terms with it.

Oh I do hate the new two-word verification!
ReplyDeleteWell written.
Agreed, and now they have doubled the aggravation by adding two of these annoyances! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat verse!
Like it! very clever. :D #
ReplyDeleteSometimes word verifications are surprisingly appropriate, though not the boring old ones on Blogger.
Hahahahaaaa.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have a little private chuckle to myself from now on when I hear my elderly neighbour saying "Oh, bother".
Heh heh heh. Gold Cosmo, Gold!
